Are the ReadNAS RR2304 subject to the current Log4j Vulnerability?
HI All,
Does anyone know if the ReadyNAS devices are susceptible to the recent Log4j vulnerability, I have 4 RR2304 NAS drives and need to be sure if they are affected or not?
This vulnerability depends on the availability of the Apache Log4j - to my knowledge it's not part of the ReadyNAS OS 6 system at all. Feel free to compare with the https://kb.netgear.com/2649/NETGEAR-Open-Source-Code-for-Programmers-GPL

Beyond, there is no Java on board (leaving any kind of Apps and Add-ons alone) - Log4j does not exist on it's own.

ManyThanks for that - I couldn't find any Java on there either, but just thought I'd ask a wider audience with better knowledge of these devices than I have.

Here is Netgear's statement on Log4j: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Smart-Plus-and-Smart-Pro-Managed/Has-Netgear-GS748TS-been-affected-by-Log4J/m-p/2173582#M19998
Of course it is possible for a user to manually install software on the NAS that has this vulnerability.
